In the spirit of the deep freeze Ottawa is heading into...
This was last January
I loved how every evening for 15 or 20 minutes, the ice would take on whatever colour the sunset did #ArtAdventCalendar #Ottawa #Canada

That's nearly enough for some squeaky snow tmrw morning😅🇨🇦
Super early in the season to be dropping into the ACTUAL cold!
I've been jumping outside to fill the birdfeeders in a tee-shirt every morning up until now😅

Day 4
This was early spring when the leaves were beginning to return.
The previous year I removed a few trees that were crowding this Black Cherry tree
It was shot with the phone at 15mm, but in manual raw mode so I could balance the sky vs tree contrast in post #ArtAdventCalendar

They're kind of the oddballs of the dog world
They're not really pack social except during child rearing
And they have that high-twitch muscle makeup like cats! Red foxes have been clocked at 72km/h for short bursts! They catch snowshoe hares ffs! I've seen it! And they can jump like a mf #Mammals

I love the studying face of this forest raised Raccoon
"oh, weird... A human! I wonder what those things eat. It doesn't seem to be eating from my hazelnut plants below"

I don't think they're actually unhinging! I think there's jaw bones are just designed to be able to do that...
They're a canine that evolved for small game catching at speed, or by jump attack.... Im pretty sure the whole terrier dog family can open wide like that too (for the same reasons)

😅 I'm in a rural suburb of a suburb of Ottawa—just far enough out that there's more animals than people, but you can still buy good food
Totally agreed, though... The Muskokas are stunning! 6000 square foot cottages and all🇨🇦

Both of us freeze in place to listen to the giant ravens way above in the white pines—they're so cool and weird (the ravens)
"Guuurrrraawwwkkk"
"Tee-cue, tee-cue"
"Brreeeeeeppp"

My morning alarm clock was 4 Trumpeter Swans, 2 groups of 2, gliding around in the back pond randomly thunder honking at nothing👀
Can't really go outside, or I'll scare them
They make geese look tiny, eh😅

I only move the leaves off the driveway that'd get disturbed by cars anyway.... all the birds get their food from under the leaves, plus the bumblebees survive under there🥰

I cut logs all day with a chainsaw
A buddy and I are trying to figure out how to winterise the campfire place called 'Woodhenge'😅
7 foot walls on all sides is the basic plan

My Bigtooth aspen nearly glows near sunset🌳🍁🍂
It grew in sand and full south facing sun for nearly 20 years now. It got giant but kept all its original lower branches intact

Because of my glacial sand based soil here, I get clonal colonies of Prunus pensylvanica! Another one of the native small cherries... tastes a lot like sour candy🤷♂️🍒🙂
